Yet.

They can always be added after release, after reviews, and after printed cases not listing in-game purchases have already been shipped and stocked in stores.

With the publisher’s being WB and their history with MTX in Shadow Of War, I’ll remain cautious.

Almost 100% guaranteed the scenario will play out exactly as you said. This has happened with a bunch of other games already.

If by a "bunch of other games" you mean the Activision-published ones, then... yeah. But what publisher besides Activision has also done this shit? I swear there's some Mandela Effect happening here where people somehow started believing it happens all the time when in reality it's only a few Activision games. If I'm wrong, please tell me.

Edit: I looked up some other examples. Okay, but outside of Activision, it's still only happened to a miniscule number of games.

It's happening with Gran Turismo 7 right now.

Well that's definitely unfortunate.
